The typical complaints from Defender owners usually have to do with Rust and Erosion. Fortunately, unlike our our competitors who buy their vehicles from the rain soaked UK, Classic Overland vehicles come from southern Africa which is arid with low humidity. Furthermore, as a company policy we do not buy vehicles with a lot of rust, but if there are minor signs of corrosion we repair it with new metal.

Yes. With around 2 million Defenders produced and 70 percent still on the road, parts are still readily available. Most local mechanics find these vehicles easy to work on and when you need help with a part just contact us and we will help you get it.

Classic Overland does not offer a general warranty on the vehicles we sell. However, we work very hard at restoring these timeless classics and getting them in excellent working order both aesthetically and mechanically.
